Rishab Shetty continues to push creative boundaries with another remarkable addition to his growing filmography. While balancing his roles as actor and director in Katara: Chapter 1 and portraying Lord Hanuman in the Telugu film Jai Hanuman, he has now taken on the lead role in an ambitious historical drama.

Collaborating with director Sandeep Singh, producer-turned-director Rishab will star in a pan-Indian film that celebrates the legacy of the legendary Maratha warrior, Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The project was announced with a regal first-look poster, revealing January 21, 2027, as its release date.

“This is more than just a film; it’s a tribute to a warrior who overcame immense odds, defied the Mughal Empire, and created an enduring legacy,” the makers declared in a heartfelt statement.

Planned as an epic on a massive scale, the film will be made with a monumental budget, promising a stunning cinematic portrayal of Shivaji Maharaj’s heroism. Further details about the cast and production updates will be unveiled in the coming months, building excitement for this historical spectacle.
